Bernie's primary office is at 15th Floor Bankers Court, 850 - 2nd Street SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 0R8. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new energy attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Bernie usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Bernie discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in energy practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Bernie for a energy case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Bernie walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Bernie offer a free consultation?

  Bernie charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Bernie's office. Some energy attorneys offer free consults — check Bernie's current terms during booking.

• How long do energy cases in this state typically take?

  Simple energy matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Bernie gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Bernie take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Bernie evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Bernie's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Bernie?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Bernie will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Bernie accepting new energy clients right now?

  Bernie's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
